Zheng beats Yastremska as Sabalenka ousts Gauff: Australian Open semi-finals – as it happened

Ten years after Li Na won in Melbourne, China's Qinwen Zheng will face defending champion Aryna Sabalenka in the final

Regular readers of this blog will be waiting for Coach Calv's Betton's breakdown of our first semi and rightly so. Well, here it is: Will come down to how well Gauff's forehand holds up and how well she serves. The FH is still ugly as and has no power in it, but she's been better at making it not crap since the summer. She's a much better player than Sabalenka all round. If she has a high first serve % it will limit how much Sabalenka can attack her. Sabalenka could just hit though her, but Coco has a great serve and moves great so that seems unlikely."
